Post-Doc on EV release by cilia.

We are seeking for a dynamic and proficient Post-doc fellow to contribute to our ongoing research on the cilia biology of C. elegans.

Although widespread in evolution, the release of extracellular vesicles by cilia is poorly understood. Our goal is to unravel the cellular/molecular mechanisms behind cilia ectocytosis. The successful candidate will engage in a multifaceted approach encompassing molecular genetics, genome editing, proteomics and cell biology of cilia in C. elegans.
